I am a retired early childhood teacher with 25+ years of Elementary School teaching. I love children so I immediately try to establish rapport with them no matter what age. I bring books, toys and games that are age appropriate and will keep your child happy and engaged. I have 3 teenage grandsons so I have experience dealing with all ages. Unfortunately, they are in New York so I treasure getting to know new families.

“Lisa is fantastic. She arrived early, brought a bunch of fun toys, and immediately had our daughter entertained. We feel lucky to have found someone as great as Lisa. ”

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I strive to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable while their parents are away. I just recently moved from Tennessee and love outdoor activities! I can help cook, clean and run errands for the family.
